Whatever you're pedaling, it's time to give it a stern, disappointed look. Because it just got obliterated by this flame-thrower strapping, ejector seated, caterpillar tracked monster. The BOND Bike, friends, leaves me shaken and stirred.

The working concept won't be up for sale—for reasons both legal and practical—pretty much ever, but it will be making an appearance at London's Cycle Show next week. It's a creation of ilovemybike.co.uk, a UK insurer who incorporated the extreme elements to address its biking customers' most complaints. Cars passing too close? Hit 'em with a flame thrower. Bike thief? Wait until they find the ejector seat. Potholes? An all-terrain caterpillar track can handle that no problem.
